Chapter 103 Reciprocity

Seeing that Qingyu came in with Wu Riyeti, Xue Shu immediately stopped caring about drinking porridge and quickly stood up and saluted: "Second aunt, it's so late, why are you here?"

Qingyu put the food box in her hand on the table and said, "The second lady is here to deliver food to the girl."

Wuriyeti blinked and looked at Qingyu suspiciously.

Isn't this meal... sent by the young master named Jing Xing?

Why did you put this good thing on her head?

Qingyu winked at her quietly.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." Xue Shu smiled and quickly pulled Wu Riyetti to sit down, "Second Aunt came over suddenly, is there something wrong?"

Wu Riyeti shook his head and said with a smile: "I just saw that you didn't eat much at the table, so I brought you some specially. You are still growing, so it's not okay if you don't eat well."

After receiving the extension of Qingyu, she took over naturally without any trace of it.

"I'm fifteen years old..." I had my menarche a few days ago, but now I'm a serious girl.

Wuriyeti smiled and said, "He's only fifteen years old, he's just a child!"

After saying that, Wuriyeti no longer gave Xue Shu a chance to speak. Together with Qingyu, he took out the food from the food box: "Okay, eat quickly!"

She thought of someone's instructions in the yard just now, so she added: "You have to eat them all."

Xue Shu responded with a smile.

In the food box, the amount of food was not large, but there were many types, and they were all Xue Shu's favorites. They even made some meat and vegetable combinations. It was obvious that the person who prepared the meals was very attentive.

With Wu Riyeti watching, Xue Shu obediently ate all the food, and at the end she didn't forget to drink the porridge as well.

"Good boy." Wuriyeti smiled with satisfaction and rolled his eyes.

She never thought that one day, watching people eat would become a very enjoyable thing.

Xue Shu's every move is elegant and elegant, and there is no trace of artificiality. It is so pleasing to the eye that people can't bear to look away.

Wuriyeti came here because he wanted to see more of Xue Shu. After staying here for so long, his purpose was achieved, so Wuriyeti patted his butt, got up and left.

Xue Shu walked her to the door.

Watching her climb over the wall and leave.

Xue Shu: "..."

Qingyu: "..."

Are you so unconventional?

"The Second Madam is really..." Qingyu racked her brains and thought for a long time, but could not think of a word that could describe the Second Madam Lu.

Xue Shu glanced at her and motioned for her to close the door.

In this cold winter, it is cold during the day and the temperature is even lower at night, as if it would freeze people to death.

Qingyu understood and quickly took two steps forward to close the door, then turned around to clear the table.

"Who sent this meal here?" Xue Shu had been standing behind Qing Yu. She suddenly said such a sentence, which scared Qing Yu so much that she jumped three feet high.

"That's it...it's Mrs. Lu..." Sapphire's eyes moved around, her brain working rapidly.

Obviously there was nothing unusual about the behavior of Wuriyeti and her just now, so why did Xue Shu realize that something was wrong?

Qingyu never figured out what the problem was.

"Oh——?" Xue Shu slowly drew out her voice and looked directly at Qingyu with a pair of slightly round phoenix eyes.

Xue Shu's eyes were always indifferent on weekdays, or she was smiling, and her phoenix eyes were always gentle and soft, seemingly without any edge.

However, at this moment, being stared at by these eyes, Qingyu actually felt like she had been seen through.

In the end, Qingyu was unable to withstand such an oppressive look and was defeated: "It's... Mr. Jing..."

"Mr. Jing?" Xue Shu frowned slightly, "Why is he here..."

She was just talking to herself, not asking Qingyu.

Anyway, this silly girl doesn’t know anything.

After Xue Shu looked away, Qingyu quietly took a breath.

"It's Mr. Jing, it's Mr. Jing. Why are you hiding him?" Xue Shu glanced at Qing Yu with some annoyance, "If I hadn't sensed something was wrong, wouldn't all Mr. Jing's efforts have been in vain?"

The meat and vegetables in the food box are all her favorite dishes. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Qingyu pouted and said, "Aren't you worried that if this matter spreads, it will harm the girl's reputation?"

"Girl, what are you thinking?" Xue Shu felt helpless and tapped her forehead with her finger, "It's called reciprocity. Tomorrow you can pack some money and send it to Mr. Jing."

"Yes!" Qingyu smiled, then turned around and went to clear the table.

*

Early the next morning, Qingyu followed Xue Shu's instructions and packed a large bag of silver and sent it to Jing Xing.

There is a full five hundred taels of silver notes, enough for several meals.

By the way, I also brought back a piece of news from the front yard——

A banquet will be held in the palace to welcome Lu Feng and others.

"Does this mean we are going to hold a dust-washing banquet?" Xue Shu was a little surprised.

The emperor had previously issued an imperial edict, saying that Lu Feng had not returned to Beijing for many years, and he must have wanted to spend more time reunited with his family, so instead of holding a dust-washing banquet, he only held a farewell banquet.

I didn't expect to change my mind so quickly.

Although there is a rumor that the queen felt that this was inappropriate, how could the hero not hold a dust-washing banquet when he returned to Beijing? So she tried her best to persuade the emperor, and the emperor changed his mind.

But this is just an explanation. Anyone with a discerning eye can't see that the emperor himself changed his mind?

Everyone feels the same as Ming Jing, but no one says it out loud.

"Yes," Qingyu nodded, "It is said that His Majesty wants to use this to announce a big event, but the palace is very strict and nothing can be found out."

"Big deal?" Xue Shu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The emperor said it was a big event, but for them, this matter was absolutely unimaginable.

I just don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

In his previous life, Lu Feng did not return to Beijing, so even after Xue Shu had gone through this life, she could not figure out what "big event" would happen.

"When is the time?"

"That's tonight."

It was a bit rushed in terms of time.

Xue Shu frowned and waved her hand to Qingyu to retreat.

Nowadays, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is prominent. Lu Feng has worked hard to guard the northern frontier and has made great achievements. He has placed his position in a very upright position without any intention of shocking the master. This kind of loyalty can be said to be a lesson from the sun and the moon.

Your Majesty is not someone who is suspicious and sick, and to put it bluntly, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is still very useful. Even if the emperor has that intention, he will not touch them easily.

After all, apart from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, there would be no one to defend the vast Northern Territory.

Since it's not a bad thing... then it's a good thing?

But the two brothers Lu Yue and Lu Feng, one was the Marquis of Zhenbei and the other was the General, were already incapable of being sealed.

What exactly will be the so-called "big event"...
